Hopefully Walter can go a good five. Gsellman looks to get some work Lets get the bats going boys

Lefty Specialist Aug 12 2020 06:00 AM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Oof. This will not end well.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2020 07:07 AM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Especially if we don't get the pitcher's first name right.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 12 2020 07:28 AM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

I prefer to call him Walter Wallet. https://www.comicstripfan.com/newspaper/g/gasolinealley/GasolineAlley19990302.jpg>

Holy blast from the past

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Baseballs does not like Lockett. From the NY Post: “He's a contact pitcher — a guy that can induce some contact so can get through a lineup with fewer pitches,” Rojas said https://sports.yahoo.com/m/91f30414-409b-3b73-88f4-31ce23b3efe2/walker-lockett-set-for-crack.html And a lot of that contact is brutal.

"Lockett, 26, went 1-4 with an 8.84 ERA in 13 appearances last season with the Mets." Yeesh.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 12 2020 08:59 AM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Had at least one good start I can remember, but yeah, the kind of guy who needs gloves behind him and his lineup to put points on the board

Lefty Specialist Aug 12 2020 09:25 AM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

I think Rufus and Melba are going to have a better time than we are.

Change of plan from twitter by DiComo/Rojas Robert Gsellman to start and be stretched out So the Gman would be the #5 starter if the chips fall correctly By the way it is HOT HOT HOT out

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2020 01:19 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

In that case maybe Buster Poindexter should get the start.

Lefty Specialist Aug 12 2020 03:03 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

So he becomes the #5 starter? I'm not sure I'm buying what they're gselling.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 12 2020 03:36 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Gselly was aight as a starter if I recall correctly. His worst skill was he couldn't swing but that's no longer an issue. Just looked at the splits and they're a little better as a reliever but innings just about 50/50 in a million more appearances.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 12 2020 05:18 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

And very quickly the Mets are down by three.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 12 2020 05:37 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

And almost as quickly, it's a tie game again

Benjamin Grimm Aug 12 2020 05:40 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

And now the Mets have a 4-3 lead. Timely hitting is fun!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 12 2020 05:52 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

I heard the Soto home run on the radio. To Howie it was the longest he'd ever seen, said the ball "went through the E-ZPass on the Throgs Neck Bridge," worth a listen.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2020 06:00 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

This is the team the Mets have to be. If they can punch back like this once or twice, it can take so much pressure off the pitching staff.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2020 06:22 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Welcome to 2020, Wilson Ramos!! Welcome to 2020, hitting with runners in scoring position!!

Benjamin Grimm Aug 12 2020 06:30 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Probably could have gotten another inning out of Shreve

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2020 06:34 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

I could definitely get used to the defense from this middle infield duo.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2020 06:36 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Those two are playing defense like that and more than carrying their bats. For the moment, certainly.

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2020 06:41 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

None of the guys mentioned it but, given Freeman's propensity for walks (which they did mention), Nimmo's abandoning of his patience by going after the first-pitch w/the bases loaded to end inning #3 was ... a disappointing choice. And on that note, Freeman exits.

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2020 07:11 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Halfway through and we're only at the two hour mark!!!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 12 2020 07:40 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

That's the stuff

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 12 2020 07:42 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Aaaaand belly to belly!

Chad ochoseis Aug 12 2020 07:42 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Pete getting his groove back would be huge.

Fman99 Aug 12 2020 07:42 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Finally, ass is bring eaten.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 12 2020 07:44 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Is this gane Diaz-proof yet? I'm guessing we're going to see Brad Brach tonight

Frayed Knot Aug 12 2020 07:50 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

I like how Pete watched the first pitch curveball, saw what it looked like, and then jumped over the next one. Then Dom figures that after that display there's no way this guy's throwing me a first pitch curve and jumped all over a first pitch fastball.

nymr83 Aug 12 2020 07:55 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

So impressed with Gimenez and to a lesser extent Guillorme. if Rosario for a good young starting pitcher was on the table I'd bite.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 12 2020 07:59 PM Re: IGT 8/12 Nats @ Mets Walter Lockett Domination

Has Wilson Ramos ever had an infield hit?

Here's to bullpen games.

Let's wrap this up. Giving Suzuki a lick isn't part of the plan.

So when Brach was on the Covid IL do you suppose he suffered from Brach-ial issues?
